Zynga CEO Pincus: "I believe that what Facebook referred to yesterday was -- they said that our share of ecosystem revenues in the last year was down 20 percent...either way, we're focused on building great games that continue to drive deeper engagement and consumer value, and we're doing it in some of our core areas like invest and express, and I think we've had a major breakthrough with Farmville 2.

We have a similar 3-D game coming out really soon."

Zynga's revenue rises, beats Street; shares climb

Zynga Inc raised the lower end of its 2012 earnings outlook on Wednesday as the company reported a slight uptick in revenue that beat Wall Street's rock-bottom expectations.

Shares of Zynga jumped 16 percent to $2.47 in after-hours trade. The game publisher also announced a $200 million share buyback program and said it has begun a cost reduction plan expected to generate $15 million to $20 million in pretax savings.

The news was a bright spot after Zynga slashed its 2012 outlook earlier this month.

Quarterly revenue rose to $317 million, an increase of 3 percent from a year ago. The company revised its full-year adjusted earnings to between $152 million and $162 million, up from $147 million and $162 million.
